“So… what are those stupid triggers you go on about all the time?”

Sighing, the mutantblood gave the flattest face he could towards his… new matesprit? He didn’t like recalling the reasoning for it, but he was fine with the existence of such a relationship. He had liked her beforehand, and she had liked him too, so why not monopolize on such a thing. Her breaking up with her previous matesprit certainly accelerated it.

“Well? You’ve never really explained them, just went on for hours about random stuff that… kind of doesn’t matter anymore,” she said, a somewhat forlorn look on her face.

Clearing his throat, Kankri opted for the not-so-massive explanation. “Essentially, some words and actions and expressions can be ‘triggers’ to certain people, which means that it causes feelings and emotional responses which they find rather unsavoury. For example, the trigger warning, ‘Non-Consent’ would be important to tell somebody that the topic has to do with non-consensual intercourse, which might make some people who’ve suffered through that feel horrible.”
